Installing F25

[Martin S]

Now I've tried two disks from the Fedora site.
Both the "proper" Fedora Workstation, and the Fedora Cinnamon spin. I 
get the same result with both - they go through the installation 
routine, ending with a statement that the installation is finished and I 
can start use the system. Upon reboot, removing the DVD I get a "No 
operating system" error.
Very weird. This is on a HP 2570p Elitebook.

If instead I install Linux Mint 18.1 (Beta) I have no problems at all 
after installation.
Any ideas? Maybe I should just stay on Mint ...

What does the partitioning of the disk look like.

Can you post an fdisk -l  booted from a live CD?

I can check in a bit. I'm trying to let F25 use the entire disk which is 
extremely easy to do with Mint.
I suppose you want the output of fdisk -l after "installation" and 
reboot with the live CD?

Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors

There we go.
F25 kind of killed my Alt-gr key as well. Otherwise it seems to have 
remembered my settings.
Rebooting and expecting the thing to lose the bootability.

From your live CD can you mount /dev/sda1 and ls -l?

Actually, to my utter amazement the thing actually now works.

I’ve done ”exactly the same thing” (as they say) three times now, and on the third I
actually got a working system.

Except that Gnome scared the …. Out of me when it turned itself on its head.

 

Need to think about what I did different this time – I don’t recall doing anything
different which is weird.

Thanks anyway.

It sounds to me as if the /boot on /dev/sda1 didn't completely get grub2
installed on it.  If you couldn't list any files or directories on it I was
going to tell you to boot into rescue mode from a CD and reinstall grub.

Possibly, at the last attempt I actually did get grub installed.
